Purankuton: Kurage Mijinko Chīsana Mizu no Seibutsu [Plankton: Jellyfish, Daphnia, and Small Water Creatures]

About this book

Language: Japanese

Although plankton are found everywhere, from your nearby waterside to the sea, from the Arctic and Antarctic to the tropics, many questions remain about them. This is the first children's picture book to introduce about 500 species. This is the definitive pocket picture book that uses beautiful photos to show the shapes of tiny underwater creatures that have not received much attention until now.

From the surprising unknown facts in "Would the Earth be Devastated Without Plankton?" to the mysterious ecology in "New Species Discovered" and "Glowing Plankton", to the corners perfect for independent research such as "Let's go collect plankton!", this book is full of entertaining content and covers a wide range of topics.

Summary in Japanese:
身近な水辺から海、そして北極・南極から熱帯など、どこにでもたくさんいるのにもかかわらず、まだ多くの謎に包まれたプランクトン。児童向け図鑑では初めての約500種というボリュームで紹介します。今まであまり注目していなかった水中の小さな生物たちのすがたを、きれいな写真で表現した決定版ポケット図鑑です。

知られざる事実に驚かされる「プランクトンがいなければ地球はめつぼうする?!」、不思議な生態がわかる「新種発見」「光るプランクトン」、また「プランクトンを集めに行こう!」のような自由研究に最適なコーナーまで、幅広い切り口で、読んでいて楽しい大充実の内容です。
